Pantera Pulled From German Festivals

Given they themselves have a sketchy pic sieg heiling it'd be a cunt move.

They've many many skeleton's in their closet I'm sure but their stakeholders will be jittery at the moment.

Wait... wait... Pantera were set to be the headline act for two nights of this festival in Germany?

Also - look at the fuckin' STATE of that line-up. Jesus Christ.

I think the article just made that up, Pantera were further down the bill, I cant imagine foo news is related to pantera news.

Line up really is a bit mad, especially when Rex Brown caught covid last month and it was literally just Phil, who has been touring these songs for years now to half empty bars.

However when the CFH intro starts playing over PA next Summer I'm sure I'll be able to switch my brain off and enjoy it

A North American tour was announced this week for the summer doesn't look like England never mind even Ireland are going to get any shows. I was half expecting them to headline Download but looking at the current tour schedule doesn't look like that will happen.

Bands ignoring Ireland is nothing new but I am surprised at no English dates as almost every tour be it mainstream or underground that comes to Europe at the very least has a London date.

Not so sure that's been the case in the wake of pandemic/brexit. There's been a ton of great tours announced that are only sticking to mainland Europe

There was a rumour before Download line up had been announced that they were gonna do Download, then pulled it and decided to do their own dates instead. Wouldn't be surprised if there's neither a tour or festival appearance, tour would probably still be a success if it was already announced and on sale but if you were a promotor/venue why would you bother with the stress/drama of taking the tour on now.

I meant to say most tours I have seen the odd tour that was just mainland Europe but then in a lot of cases a few months later the band would come back to England. I was also basing it on pre 2020 (which I didn't say) because since shows started up again I don't have a lot of money to travel so I haven't been paying much attention to what is going on outside of Ireland.

But I still think a Pantera reunion after 20 years with no dates in England is pretty shocking.

I don't think they would get much trouble either here or in England. Luckily we haven't had many shows cancelled over the years the only one I can think of is GBK and someone also tried to get a Watain show cancelled that didn't end up happening for a different reason. I am not surprised that this happened in Germany as this shit has been going on over there for years.

Hmm they're playing in Edmonton with Metallica and I was considering going. Wouldn't bother if Pantera were pulled. Really depends how much it snowballs from here. Cancellations in Germany and Austria to do with Nazi stuff seems obvious, but will the hysteria spread far beyond that. Probably likely!

Headline shows in Toronto and Montreal were announced this week as part of the NA tour but with what is going on now I can't see those 2 shows going ahead. When the reunion was announced I had planned on going to a Toronto show as I knew they would play there but the venue they are playing is awful so not gonna bother now.
